The glory days of hair and heavy metal

Freight Train – Nitro

Does one need any more proof that Nirvana Ruined Everything? Look and be humbled by the outrageous hair on Nitro singer Jim Gillette, matched only by his falsetto scream. But the hair, the lights and the black spandex all pale into insignificance once Michael Angio Batio begins to shred on his specially-made quad-neck guitar.

Yes, it’s all ludicrous, but it’s fucking fantastic.
